CAR CARE SECTION 98 When storm blocks
driving vision it's time
to say, 'let there be light'
Lights on tell you where and what is ahead.
"My pet gripe," said the
old-timer, "is against all
too many drivers who have
developed bad driving and
maintenance habits."
This old-timer says he
found himself trapped on
a fine, broad turnpike by
a sudden and severe bad
weather condition.
"I say `trapped' because
traffic was heavy and too
many motorists were high-
balling far above the 55-
mile speed limit when the
storm broke.
"Naturally, I turned on
my lights immediately. I
wanted the car behind me
to realize I was ahead of
him, no matter how badly
forward vision was impair-
ed by the mounting dark-
ness and the foglike mist
created by the heavy rains.
Too many failed
"But too many others
failed to do likewise (why,
I will never know) which
meant that freqUently all
you saw ahead of you that
might be a motor vehicle
was a slightly darker
shape in the wet gloom.
"Meanwhile, if the guy
in back of you didn't have
some light showing for-
ward, you'd have to strain
to make sure he wasn't
engaged in dangerous
tailgating.
"It was almost impossi-
ble to turn off the turn-
pike with any degree of
safety — turnoffs were
jammed and motorists
were speeding by.
"Another hazard was
cars that had run out of
gas or had encountered
some mechanical difficulty
which forced them to stop
at roadside. Then, in a
misguided effort to save
their batteries, they didn't
even show parking lights.
Never a breakdown
"I've never, during all
of my driving in good
weather and bad, had to
stop because of a mechan-
ical breakdown, or being
out of gas.
"This 100 per cent per-
formance, I attribute to
the fact that every car I've
ever owned has been taken
in for a tune-up and a
complete check of all safe-
ty features at every 10,000
miles that shows, on my
odometer.
"I got through the 135-
)116 drive during a vision
dedroying storm Safely,
until, off the turnpike and
very near my home, I Wag
stopped by a red traffic
light at the battirri Of a
little hill.
'`yea, it Was raining
heavily and thy lightS,
front and back, were still
on. Seconds after I stop-
ped, the car behind me
ran into my rear end.
